Alternatives to eating ice cream

[jaguar]

I eat a bowl of ice cream EVERY day (1/2 a gallon a week), but I'd like to find a cheaper alternative. Any ideas? Preferably something high calorie, somewhat healthy, not too "processed".... don't care what the fat/carb/protein content is (obviously fat has more calories). I was thinking peanut butter. Candy is probably not a good idea.

I had the same problem but with coffee. I'd drinka cup before class during breakfast and then another one after dinner. Caffeine's a drug which made it too hard to drop cold turkey. I've been stepping off slightly. I'm down to 1/2 a cup a day (I still binge on the Sunday mornings). Instead of finding something new, perhaps just step off it gradually? It's doing me well...if not, Peanut butter seems more economical and a good alternative.

sherbert or frozen yogurt are good alternatives...and sorbets are AMAZING!

As the one and only Don Kardong said, "Without ice cream, there would be darkness and chaos." There is no replacement for good ice cream--about half of my current PRs have come the day after eating a full pint of Ben & Jerry's :D

Coffee/Heathbar is the devil.

Ah ha, I got some ideas from friends! Bagels..... duh!!!! Peanut butter or cream cheese and bagels. Yes, maybe I should just "ween" myself off the ice cream, say, every other day.:) I don't know if I can do without it. Hmmm.... sherbet; I'll look into that.

Yes, coffee is a huge problem for me right now as well! I'm drinking 1-2 cups a day with milk and sugar. Last Thurs. I had 3 cups, and I was nauseous the whole day. Probably should cut back with the warm weather. It's soooo good though!

If your eating your ice cream after dinner before bed, try eating a bowl of cereal instead. It can be sweet or health but a box may last longer then ice cream or atleast be cheaper.

Ahhhh, very good! Actually, I don't eat cereal for breakfast (eat porridge because it's cheaper), but cereal would be a good "snack" and probably a cheaper alternative to ice cream.

there are no alternatives. ice cream owns all :D
you cannot subsitute something for icecream. if you have to, you might as well just cut it out all together :(

So I went two whole days without eating ice cream, and I was starving! Definitely getting some hunger pains, despite trying to eat other snacks (bagels, cereal). I went back to eating ice cream and felt so much better.:)
